my brain absolutely made sense of it… nice!

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0609-speed-limit-pt-1/

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609

Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

. . .

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, September 11, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

Plucks & Pad (disquiet0609)

First Disquiet

Digitakt + Syntakt + Norns + Mood2 + Guitar + Blooper

Piano sample from another project

Small guitar ambient guitar sample using Blooper as a fast delay with the glitch effect. Created tones using sustainer pickup and fading in to the delay line.

Kept it minimal to allow for space if other instruments come.

Added reverb kick on Syntakt

Added hi hat on 1, 3, 4 - just felt better

Added notes on Norns Awake application into Mood2 reverb. Captured small glitchy samples.

Lots of repeating ideas so I grabbed a few passes of the glitch to leave in as a choice.

Added a lot of gain in post processing. Need to look at my gain staging!

30 <---- 60 bpm [disquiet #0610] w/Debroc

Done for Disquiet Junto 0610

This was fun. This is mostly a quick sample of a percussive 4//lIGhT's 60 bpm Stomp bit, repeated excessively, with a tiny guitar-sounding bit from @tristan_louth_robins 's Refactored Drift. Filled out with @XHG 's Acrostic Speed Limit and some from a 4th one, but I forget.

Instructions:

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:

Swrolds Amay - disquiet0610

I slowed the two tracks (“analoc - Blink” and “Andeas Kitzmann - disquet0609”) to 30 bpm with audacity, then mixed and processed the two tracks with csound, finally mastered with flstdio. Thanks to "analoc" Anatol Locker and Andeas Kitzmann.

destroying two - disquiet0610

Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

I selected two tracks that I liked, but more by incident, because I liked many (and most of them felt already finished). But with Refactored Drift from Tristan Louth-Robins (https://soundcloud.com/red_robin/disquiet_junto_0603-refactored-drift-60-bpm) and Transient Melter from ATW (https://soundcloud.com/atw/transient-melter-60bpm-disquiet-0609?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0609) I had the fantasy, that they would make a nice combination of melody and sound. I was very lazy and just slowed them to half speed. I also wanted to keep the result under five minutes, and I wanted both tracks to have some kind of a solo (because the ATW track more or less forced it). I edited and recut in Reaper by taste and justification, and I ignored scales and syncopation correctness (not totally, but they are surely not always "proper"). No additional knick-knacks but some subtile FX.

Thanks to Tristan Louth-Robins (Refactored Drift) and ATW (Transient Melter).

Refactored Melter [disquiet0610]

For this assignment I used my own submission from last week paired with a.a.miles Key Limit which then morphs into Michele Isoni's Chirper which is finally joined by Sunbear's lovely submission. All the parts where brought into ableton, slowed down by half and then warped back to their original pitch. After it was all sequenced I then used a bunch of puremagnetic effects to give the whole thing that worn out vibe (which also resulted in some strange drop outs and flutters which i left)

Many thanks to all that got involved, so many interesting takes on the assignment!

Blues In Two Phases [disquiet0610]

This was my contribution for the collaborative Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0610 discussion thread:

Ended up using part 1 compositions by @Timshel0, @dequalsrxt, and @tristan_louth_robins for this piece since they all seemed to work well with the Basinski style vibe I had in mind. I layered them into Ableton Live at 60 BPM and edited the audio in various ways by stretching, warping, chopping and looping the samples. Thank you to the three creators for the opportunity to use these creations, but also apologies for my excessive manipulation and mangling of your source audio.  

I recorded the mix onto a Panasonic RN-125 microcassette recorder and then, played it back into Ableton at half speed. Final tempo should be around 30 BPM. Added plugin effects from Arturia Rev Intensity (reverb), Phonolyth Cascade (reverb), Soundghost Drift (for more tape effects) and AudioThing Noises to the final mix.

The ambiguous title was inspired by reflecting on news headlines referencing "...a fragile peace" in conflict areas around the world.

I reworked and mashed together the following three tracks with additional instrumentation:

Sixty Catnip Dark Corridor Melter (disquiet0610)

This assignment uses two songs from Disquiet0609 (made to be 60bpm) and combine them while setting the new song at 30bpm. I used Plucks & Pad from Noodle Twister (https://soundcloud.com/noodletwister/plucks-pad-disquiet0609) and combined it with SAMPLAIR's Disquiet 0609 (https://soundcloud.com/user-248104983/disquiet0609-60bpm). I altered the sounds and added LABS piano parts.

The Advice

The Calm Before The Storm - DJBrutusBeats

finding time 10 91025 take 1 25 bpm

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Electronic music, field recordings and weird electroacoustic sounds.
